Instead of Validating Your Emotions

<p>We've become a bit fixated on the "importance" of validating our feelings. But what if, in the process of validating them, we're actually stunting our growth and keeping ourselves stuck?  </p> <p>_____</p> <p>Welcome to Season 7!</p> <p>In this season, Dr. Sherri focuses exclusively on dissecting popular phrases women use to "encourage" one another that actually perpetuate problematic ideals of a woman's worth.</p> <p>Would you like to contribute a phrase for the show?
